After failing miserably in Beijing making sweet potato fries, I decided to do it again. The oven in Beijing was terrible and had really bad heat distribution, causing my fries to be black on one side and perfect on the other. This time they turned out really well :) hope to make them again soon.
Sweet Potato Fries
1 sweet potato
Paprika
Salt
Pepper
Oregano
Olive oil
1) Preheat oven to 425 degrees Celsius.
2) Cut sweet potato into even pieces. It's important that they are around the same size so that they all cook evenly. I usually leave some small pieces though and just each them when I check on the fries hehe.
3) Put the pieces in a big mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
4) Spread the pieces on a cookie sheet and make sure the fries are not touching one another.
5) Put the fries in the oven for 15 minutes and don't peek! Just let them cook for the full 15 minutes.
6) Take the fries out and flip them. This step is a bitch but without it the fries won't be evenly crispy! Bake for another 15 minutes :)
Enjoy! omnomnom
